After Dark Lyrics

There’s a majesty, there’s inherent pain
some people feel it, some embrace
We can capture fear, we can consume pain
some people seek it and assimilate

It rises, a shattered sun, it rises in your eyes after dark
It rises, exploding stars, it rises in your mind
After dark
Worlds of misery live in me
All things unholy live in me

It rises, a shattered sun, it rises in your eyes after dark
It rises, exploding stars, it rises in your mind
After dark
Worlds of misery live in me
All things unholy bleed through me

It’s bleeding, escaping. It’s feeding, evading
It’s seeping, erasing. It’s nearing, debasing
Contemplating punishment, flushing out the effluent
What are you waiting for?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Really digging this song at the moment ... the riffs are great. Lyrically I thing they are making you question your life, are you a fighter or you going to lay down?
